An online collaborative framework for orthography system development
This paper describes a collaborative project for orthography system development involving the Daro community and linguists. We proposed a new model which integrated with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to simplify the orthography system development. Besides, collaborative work also introduced for expanding the relationship between the linguists and community in orthography system development. Currently, our project focuses on Daro community, but we anticipate that this project will extend to other indigenous communities in Sarawak as well.
This study investigates how community able to contribute their efforts in orthography system development. Hence, Daro community required to use the online platform to upload data. Their response towards the online platform was observed.
